Dependency issue with perl-base
Hi Debian fans,
I tried to upgrade my system and run into an dependency issue.
1) First I thought this was down to the fact that I set the locales to
UTF-8, so I removed those settings (below).
----------
ns1:/home/nilsv# locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
2) But,when I try to upgrade perl-base than I get a dependency issue which
I cant resolve. I tried to force it, but no luck. (below)
-----------
ns1:/home/nilsv# apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-6) but 5.8.4-5 is installed
perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-6) but 5.8.4-5 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
ns1:/home/nilsv# apt-get upgrade -f

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
